Matt Trossen of Trossen Robotics posted a short clip of me trying to recall the ancient text while perusing the old computer hardware on display at the second annual Maker Fair down in San Mateo, CA earlier this year.
I don’t know exactly where he got it or how he ended up with it, but long ago my dad bought an Invacar. I drove it around town when I was 17… almost 15 years ago. Today I splurged a bit and wasted some precious cash to buy the car from my dad. Compared to […]
A couple days ago, I started my new job as Director of IT at Outback Power Systems, Inc. (www.outbackpower.com). I have to say it’s the first time I’ve stepped directly into a management roll, aside from starting my own company I suppose 😉 Outback is just the kind of company I wanted to be involved […]
I just had a concerned citizen post their views on my RFID forum in a sensible and respectful way. I’ve responded, and I’m very interested in seeing where this goes exactly.
I just read this old article about Dr. Patrick Thevissen putting an RFID implant into a live human tooth. Well, I find that interesting and I’d like to talk to him about it, but I can’t seem to track this guy down anywhere. According to the Belgium yellow pages, he doesn’t have a practice in […]
I just had a spiffy little conversation with Courtney Nash from Seattle Metropolitan Magazine. They are really looking to focus on “the hidden geek” side of Seattle.

I just got off the phone with Katina Michael (University of Wollongong) after conducting a two hour interview about RFID. We covered implants, automatic identification, location based services, and biometrics… with a bit of security and privacy issues sprinkled in for flavor. Basically, this phone interview is the current state of my thoughts on these […]
Well, I had to wake up at 5am this morning to do a radio interview. My fancy windows mobile phone had a battery malfunction and so I had to get this crappy backup phone… apparently I don’t know how to set the alarm on this new phone, because it failed to go off. Luckily there […]
Yesterday started out well enough… my TMJ was healing nicely, the sun was shining, the humidity was low, and the AC was on. It was all going great… until I changed one tiny thing on two of my Dell PowerEdge 850 boxes. I updated the Large Segment Offload setting for the broadcom NIC team on […]
Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day, and it was nutty around here… we walked around Savannah with half a million drunks in town. Heck, people had already setup chairs and started drinking with their shirts off the day before! St. Patrick’s Day itself started out well enough, with a fun little parade making its way through […]
